I do too, always have. But I can use Gmail’s categorization for setting up broad filtering:

Social & Promotions -> Archive (so I never see).

Updates -> Label “Noise” so I can glance if needed, but away from my main inbox.

but ya, prob not all of those updates Gmail will categorize that way... So a bunch would still get through.

I have filters for common noise, especially receipts etc that I know are on autopay, and payout notifcaitons etc.

It can filter based on Gmail's categories. So if Gmail categorizes an email as an 'Update' or 'Promotion' or 'Social' or 'Forum', it can catch that and do something with it.

Gmail filters are frustratingly limited. They can't apply more than one label. You can't even remove labels.

Filter Hawk gives you all the filters and actions you'd expect. You can stack them, group them, and manage your inbox like a pro.

Ever wanna screen in or block first-time senders in Gmail? You can't do it with Gmail filters.

But you can with FilterHawk. Filter based on sender history, manage your block list, and quiet down the cold emailers.

Did one Gmail filter undo the work of another? Which Gmail ran first? Total mystery.

FilterHawk follows your priority order, always. Drag-and-drop to reorder so that it's perfectly predictable.

Gmail's filters silently fail all the time—and you don't know why!

FilterHawk shows you an audit trail for every email. See which filters passed, failed, and which actions were taken. Use those insights to dial in your filters perfectly.

Gmail's filters make you write cryptic search queries and hassle with a UI that hasn't seen love in years.

FilterHawk gives you an intuitive logic builder. Build sophisticated filters without code or guesswork.

We're big fans. We go to one regular season game a year.

These are for decent lower/middle level seats.

It's the same for any NYC sports team. Out of control.

As everyone should :)

ya I'm back to using Gmail on both ios and web.

I like it unified, but also filtered and grouped into easily tabbable views. Gmail's multiple inboxes is so frustratingly limited.
